Ruthven
If you’ve followed my photography at all, you’ll know that I am a sucker for a ruined structure on a hill. So, Ruthven Barracks near Kingussie in Scotland is right up there on my list of favourite places. Even on a gloomy day.

The Line of the Fence
I cannot remember where I took this shot, other than “somewhere in the Highlands”. It was a beautiful day and the line of fence posts intrigued me. It may have been on the way to Ullapool.

Sticking in the area of urban landscapes, here’s a shot from the internationally famous Lombard Street in California.
